Ill try and come up with a spreadsheet to get you guys listed sometime this weekend.

Sounds good, would be good if we could use this club to help other surround users or even reassure people wanting to go surround with what they could expect from setups.

Maybe like in the spreadsheet mark what GPU's achieve (FPS, Scores) at a certain resolution in certain games or tests. I kind of just pulled the trigger with going surround without finding information on what I could expect from my setup, would have been nice to have had some information though to help me make the leap had I not just had a mad moment and just bought my monitors anyway.

Also would be interesting to find out if people got different combinations of monitors working with nVidia surround rather than 3 identical ones.

I'm using display fusion, which rocks in the split 3 display mode.

Do you mean, so when gaming the monitors become one big monitor (Surround) but when not gaming the monitors become 3 individual screens linked together, so if you make something fullscreen it only fills one screen rather than all of them?Edited by Chobbit - 5/5/11 at 7:44am

Exactly. I can get that by switching from surround mode, but I want something that keeps the advantages of the non-surround mode when in surround.
I dislike having to manually switch modes every time I do something, like my blasted sound card which doesn't swap to 2.0 mode when I plug in headphones instead of my 5.1 speakers..

You would have to get a zoning program that would allow you to create window maximize zones.

We should merge the 2. I can make you a co-founder?

Yeah, sure, not a problem. Who do we contact for the merging?

By the way. I am going to update the OP with utilities and such for multi-display environments. Let me know if you have any questions or anything since I have been doing this for a number of years.
